Which class is the overall hardest to CC?
|
Snares =/= Hard CC
|
|
Let's see...
Priest - fear ward, lol. phantasm, lolnerfed. poor Mage - blink, ice block, etc Warlock - unbound will (extra trinket), pet aid Druid - removing snares/roots, immune to polymorph Rogue - cloak of shadows/vanish Monk - Demateralize (MW only) and uhhh... nothing else? Hunter - i must not be familiar with these CC breaks other than BW, which i tend to FORCE him to pop. spell reflect... talented disengage Shaman - grounding totem, tremor totem, ghost wolf, etcetcetc - PLUS his totems continue to act while he is CC'd Pally - bubble, BoF, and his plethora of instant heals get a shout out, having played rogues Warrior - zerker rage.... spell reflect DK - the guy above me did a good job listing them. I'm sure I missed a bunch of them. As far as DKs go, they are easy to shut down because they don't have many defensive abilities, even though CC will not last too long on them. I still can't give them the title, because as a Warlock in Arena I generally have no trouble helping my resto druid peel from an annoying DK. Hunters I haven't really noticed many difficulties either. I'm usually paying more attention to "OMGWTFBBGGONNADIE" than to how long a hunter eats a fear for. Survive the pets and outburst him has been my strategy. Could someone speak more to a Hunter's defenses? Deterrence really aint anything to special; it's kind of like a personal cyclone, whatever. I'm gonna have to say Shaman, Mage, or Holy Pally. Mage because they can not only break your CCs, but also CC you back x10 and throw tons of damage in your face. Paladins because they always seem to sneak by with that one heal or bubble at just the worst time for you. And Shamans because, well, !@#$ shamans. I play a Warlock. |

DK
Desecrated Ground Trinket AMS If undead, Will of the Forsaken Lichborne I'd say IBF, but I wouldn't use to get out of any old stun unless it were to prevent death. Other than a DK a really good Shaman. |
|
I thought I'd see much more people say pally.
hand of freedom much? |
That may have been true pre 5.0, but thanks to instant cast cc and GC in his infinite wisdom making it so we cant drop totems while silenced thats no longer the case. Also, against rogues, warriors, and monks I'm forever stunned |

then im surprised he didnt say his own class >.>
still better than a lot of other classes |
Let's see... very inaccurate, how much a spec/class is getting cc'ed is not just about their outs, but what utilities they have, for example warriors can double charge leap, which makes them harder to control, also intervene on 30seconds... not to mention retal which increases parry chance by 100, makes them hard to cc for some melee specs too... also spell reflect etc... this goes for every spec, rogues also have vanish, and million ways to stop you from casting a cc on you... if you get a hard cast vs a rogue, the rogue is horrible... everything works differently in practice than on paper as well... also its a lot harder to cc specs that have a lot of cc, due to you being cc'ed more and stopped... locks look way better than they are, you can use instant fear and deathcoil/stun to stop casts... ports... etc... |

Lol at the people who are saying shamans, a slow isn't a real cc, so ghost wolf is out of the question, wind shear is just an interrupt, which pally's have an interrupt as a healer as well as monks(plus monks has a blanket...) and shamans can't lay grounding while blanket silenced which makes chain cc on them easy along with ghost wolf not avoiding any kind of cc, it doesn't avoid polly's nor hex while in it however you can be hibernated if in ghost wolf form, which is not fair, ghost wold succepts you to more cc then if you don't, so do not count it as way to avoid cc.

ghost wolf is out of the question, wind shear is just an interrupt, which pally's have an interrupt as a healer as well as monks. pallys not gona stop a hardcast CC frm 30 yards away with rebuke unlike a shaman if thats what you meant |

I would say Mages are the hardest to CC. And for those of you saying Snares/Roots aren't crowd control.... I guess you've never kited a Rogue or rooted a Warrior and laughed? No Sprint/Shadowstep and that Rogue is at the mercy of CoEx. And Warriors always just /sit in those damn Void Tendrils. It is 100% absolutely without question a form of controlling the crowd. |

Hunter, druid and Derpknight.
Mages too if your comp/strat relies on stuns in any capacity. |
|
I would say dk but then again they sit full disarms and are just as much affected by silences as a caster would be, but im not sure of silences and disarms would count as cc.

Hunters.

Frost DK
Pillar of Frost -1 min CD immunity to knockback effects (20 second Duration) Desecrated Ground - 2 min CD immunity to all effects (10 second Duration) AMS - 45 second CD immunity to magic CC's (5 second Duration) IBF - 3 min CD immunity to Stuns (12 second duration) Lichborne - 2min CD immunity to fear/charm/sleep and Mind Control (10 second duration) Frost Presence - 20% reduction to all CC effects duration Unholy DK Unholy Frenzy - 3min CD immunity to sheep, Sap, Blind (all CC that break on dmg) (30 second duration) Desecrated Ground - 2 min CD immunity to all effects (10 second Duration) AMS - 45 second CD immunity to magic CC's (5 second Duration) IBF - 3 min CD immunity to Stuns (12 second duration) Lichborne - 2min CD immunity to fear/charm/sleep and Mind Control (10 second duration) **Frost Presence - 20% reduction to all CC effects duration** Add in PvP trinket + Undead Racial (even Orc 15% stun reduction ontop of presence) and you have an absurd amount of CC "outs". |

I've seen some DKs also pick up glyph of icebound fortitude for a 1.5 min stun breaker.
They have some pretty crazy outs, but they still suck against warriors, rogues, and ferals. Y plate no help? |
